  • Combine the quinoa with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and continue cooking until all water is absorbed. (If using couscous, simply prepare according to directions on package.).
  • In a medium bowl, combine cooked quinoa (or couscous), dried berries, green beans, nuts, and green onions until well mixed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic until well blended. Pour over the quinoa/couscous mixture. Toss until well blended. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

  1. I used dried apricots and pecans. I also added an apple and left out the beans (didn't have any). Will make this again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I'm a Can-Do-Ologist who loves fresh, delicious foods... but who hates spending a lot of time in the kitchen since I'm usually cooking for just me. (And I don't like leftovers.) I love experimenting with a blend of new flavors and old favorites, and I am especially fond of thai and eastern spices with tofu and veggies, and of my Mom and Grandma's comfort food recipes.</p>
